Season 1 episodes (6)

1 Monster Wolf
8/18/13
Casey Anderson scours Canada's wild West Coast for clues to reveal who or what is terrorizing Vancouver Island: are these wolves, monsters, or a little of both?
2 Mountain Lion vs. Bighorn
8/25/13
In the barren desert southwest, Casey Anderson struggles with thorny cactus, rugged terrain and intense emotions to stop a predator he loves, the mountain lion, from devastating fragile populations of bighorn sheep.
3 American Vampire
9/1/13
Casey Anderson pushes to the frontlines of a vampire bat invasion in Texas and drops into the darkness of the "torture chamber" deep in the juggles of Mexico to discover what will be at stake when vampires arrive in America?
4 Super Moose
9/8/13
Casey builds a custom "Super Moose" and goes undercover to explain bizarre and unpredictable moose behavior during the peak of the mating season - when moose leave behind their solitary day-to-day existence to gather in a spectacular hormone-fueled frenzy known as a "supergroup."
5 Gator Country
9/15/13
A changing Everglades is putting pressure on its two most iconic predators: the American alligator and American crocodile. As crocodiles move north, their ranges are increasingly overlapping with gator territory. In this episode, Casey travels to the Florida Everglades to see which of these animals will reign supreme.
6 Night Grizzly
9/22/13
Casey is haunted by an old campfire tale that goes something like this: just as darkness falls, a Grizzly turns up in camp; but this is no ordinary Grizzly - it's a bold, aggressive predator, concealing itself in a cloak of darkness - a 'Night Grizzly."' Now, Casey will embark on the first-ever mission to understand, once and for all, if this legend has real teeth.

About this show

Join National Geographic and naturalist Casey Anderson for some wild explorations in America the Wild. Casey camps out on an island to investigate aggressive wolves, rappels into a cave in search of vampire bats, comes face-to-face with a rare herd of Alaska's gargantuan moose, slices his way through 'Gator-Heaven' in the Florida Everglades and finally, goes into the heart of darkness to experience the unknown world of Yellowstone's Grizzlies at night.

I have a personal interest in American predatory animals so naturally appreciated this show. But in all honesty Casey Anderson makes the show with his raw passion for animals showing in his childlike emotive face. It's worth it to keep watching to see how happy he gets, he's obviously down for the cause with all his soul.

I couldnt think of a better show to watch. I want to get into the wildlife biology career and let me tell you, this show provides so much insight and knowlage into the natural world and its wildlife. Casey Anderson is the perfect host, he has an extensive knowledge about the animals and environment he studys, and is also pretty easy on the eyes. So basically this is a freaking fantastic show!

This show is exactly what I expected. I was hoping to get more insight into the theory of wolves breeding with dogs or coyotes. I’ve heard that is what makes their behavior change. That’s seriously dangerous, and that’s exactly what this show is about. I’m thankful for Casey Anderson and the crew. They put themselves out there, so they can give us, and hopefully the people of Vancouver, some answers, as to why these wolves are attacking people and dogs. I love nature and all that it provides, but just as this world is changing, it seems as if our wildlife is also. That’s a shame. Thank you Casey & crew for your research.
